Abstract

An accessory for affixmentation to a recreational flying disk is disclosed in the form of a separate apparatus that is readily compatible and adaptable to any flying disk that will greatly enhance the flight distance length and the other flight characteristics of that retrofitted disk because of the centrifugal power, ballast stabilization and lift capability that the disclosed invention apparatus transmutes to the said flying disk. The disclosed apparatus, in conjunction with it being the aforementioned aerodynamic catalyst that it becomes once it is affixed to the said thrown flying disk, also can transform the said disk into a flying disk that can skip across the surface of a body of water not unlike a flat stone used for centuries for the same results—that same body of water that would render an ordinary flying disk as immobile upon contact with it now can be considered as just another obstacle to cross just as easily as flying aerially. The many variations of embodiments that are possible and probable are capable of being manufactured in an inexpensive method or manner such as by plastic molding or injection in and as a lightweight composite, which is a proven material both in the durability and safety factorage in the art of recreational flying disks.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefits of provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 860,784, filed 2006 Nov. 24 by the present inventor, which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to the many varieties of recreational flying disks currently in the marketplace and more precisely, to an apparatus that when attached to any recreational flying disk will exemplify the aerodynamics of that said flying disk resulting in a much longer distance of traveling in flight and the said disk being capable of traversing or ‘skipping’ on and over the surface of a body of water and if desired, a hard surface such as land, snow, or field of ice.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] Many variations of the recreational flying disk are currently available to the general consumer and differ in their size and composite material, from the very familiar soft pliable t...
